COVID-19 — Coronavirus

You can't go to work in London without using public transport. To restart work in London without South Korean protective measures in place is rediculous.
That said Khan and TfL has done absolutely nothing over the last 6 weeks for this to happen.
Will the government remove parking restrictions to facilitate work without using public transport?

Course they won't. This government is so quick to say they are putting so many millions to this and that. Its not about the money exactly, its how well its utilised

Khan is a disgrace

Just seen the premier league directive about returning to training. Turn up in their own car have temperature taken, train in small groups and go home to shower. And then on Saturday fucking run around with27 others plus officials who are spitting all over the pitch. They are as fucked up as this government

German Bundesliga starts at the weekend. They still have the virus.

Sweden with big jump in deaths.

147 but a lot are earler deaths being caught up. Only one from yesyerday - but that will go up. It's about 40/day now.

What's happening with antibody testing, it seems to have gone very quiet on that front.

Fucking madness isn't it?

I wonder if Boris Johnson is watching Channel 4 right now? 'The Country that Beat the Virus'. It shows how South Korea have attacked the spread of the virus and reflects on what our country was doing at the same time. Whilst Korea had hard-learned experience from MERS, our response seems like that of a third-world country in comparison.

Still not one specific enough for clinical use,every country is trying to find one

What about social distancing. Will they change the offside law so that if you are no more than 2 metres in front of the last defender you are still onside?

Seems to be taking a long time, and its not clear if the actual virus test is 100% accurate either.

The whole face mask situation to me is straightforward. If they advise using a tissue to cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze or cough then surely a face mask is more effective than that. Also it restricts droplets being emitted when people speak. The only reason they didn't push it is there was a shortage. Even now I haven't seen any for sale anywhere. That suggest there isn't any as retailers would otherwise have shelves full of them to make a profit.

I was gobsmacked this morning to hear our approach to just allowing thousands of people into the country because the virus was already here so it didn't make a difference. Incredible.

Very sensible post indeed. Course it was to stop the public buying the whole stock. Do they think we are idiots ffs?

Although Germany’s figures are better than ours, I think that’s a crass move to be honest.

Many things about covid is a surprise ,i remember at the start the scientists assumed it would just be another corona virus that would act the same as the others

Went to see the neurologist with the missus on February 12th and he made a joke about us not having the virus yet and what a fuss over a flu bug. Can't wait to see him again
